RAF gunsight mania at eBay heads-up!

Hello RAF collectors

Amused I see, that a good RAF gunsight wasn´t for sale for about one year and now they seem to appear like mushrooms during autumn :rolleyes:
Might be a good possibility to get one for a fair price!

Has someone a Spit nose up/down to present at eBay? Maybe they also will appear then. 😀

The first two I bought, because I thought, these might be the last possibilities. Here are the other ones, if interested:

Indeed Herbert,

But hey it’s Luftwaffe and that’s make makes it expensive. I can’t understand these prices but with an open market economy (and e-bay) it’s just what people are prepared to pay for it. If someone has dozens of these sitting in a box in his shed and reads this, he should fall off his chair.:p

Cheers

At least they are still cheaper than the Luftwaffe Revis.
They start with GBP 600,- even a lot are around and in my opinion, they are only a simple box with a glass.

I can confidently say there must be hundreds if not a couple of thousand of these, only a few years ago they were so common you could get them for £100 then came ebay and people pay £300+ for some reason no doubt they are on bookshelves and sheds throughout the UK I dont think they are worth the top money, its not anything unusual for 3 to be on surprised more havent surfaced at once before !

Perhaps they’ve all been to see Lance Corke.

He’s been selling off his aviation stuff for a while now.
